Boehner Tells Bankers To Fight Financial Reform: ‘Don’t Let Those Little Punk Staffers Take Advantage Of You’

This week, Senate Banking Committee Chairman Chris Dodd (D-CT) released the latest version of his financial regulatory reform bill, which aims to correct the deficiencies in the financial system that led to 2008’s economic crisis. The House of Representatives has already passed a comprehensive regulatory reform bill, and now that Dodd has given up on negotiating with recalcitrant Republicans, he is moving on an expedited timeline, with a markup scheduled for Monday.

It’s taken the Senate a year and a half after the financial crisis to even get to this point, but House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) told “an enthusiastic crowd of bankers” today that, even if the Senate passes a bill, reconciling it with the House version will take another year. “If the Senate is able to produce a bill, I think it’s just as likely that we’ll be talking about the same issue a year from now as we are right now,” Boehner said at the American Bankers Association government relations summit.

Boehner then added that the bankers should be standing up for themselves against “those little punk staffers” trying to write new regulations:

“Don’t let those little punk staffers take advantage of you and stand up for yourselves,” Boehner said. “All of us are hearing from our friends and constituents on lack of credit, you can’t get a loan, the more your government takes and taxes, the more regulations you have to comply with the more cost you have there and less amount you are going to have available to loan to customers.”

The fact that he’s willing to let another year lapse without putting in place new rules for Wall Street shows exactly where Boehner’s priorities lie. But it should come as no surprise, considering what Republicans have been up to this year.

In February, Boehner met “over drinks” with JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, where he “made a pitch” for Wall Street support by explaining that “Republicans had stood up to Mr. Obama’s efforts to curb pay and impose new regulations.” Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, “said he visited New York about twice a month to try to tap into Wall Street’s ‘buyers remorse’” with Democrats. These pitches had some effect too; last year, “major Wall Street players began sending an increasing share of their donations to Republicans.”

Prior to Boehner’s speech, American Bankers Association President Edward Yingling urged delay in the financial reform effort, because “every day that passes gives more leverage to [Banking Committee Ranking Member Richard Shelby (R-AL)].” In his career, Boehner has received $3.4 million from the financial services industry, which is $1.2 million more than he’s received from any other industry.

    Ok TP, did you guys photoshop Boehner extra orange or did he fall asleep in the tanning bed again?


  3. P.D. says:

    Boner will now tell the unwashed masses he is for them! He is another Scott Brown, he will scream ‘power to the people’ then kowtow to his Wall Street buddies. I don’t know how to blame more. The Repugs who are lying or their constituents who are so ignorant in the first place.

    Boehner is a drunk. He probably paints himself orange to cover his red blotchy nose.

    Says it all, doesn’t it?

    “We, the Republicans, are on the side of any entity that holds a reservoir of wealth, ill gotten or not, and painfully extracted from each and every one of all the others who are not wealthy because they have been victims of extraction.”

    Why do big pools of money attract Republicans like flies, or locusts?

    Boehner is so brave standing by those poor little bankers while the average American is picking on them. /snark

    Hey, bone head, ever ask the bankers how much money they made over the past nine years including OUR tax money to save their asses when their greed got the best of them?

    They aren’t loaning money now because they make more investing it in industrial markets and not in consumer loans. What a block head!


  17. Roket says:

    Republican, thy name is obstructionist.


  18. barfly says:

    “Don’t let those little punk staffers take advantage of you and stand up for yourselves,” Boehner said.

    Translation: You’re on your own, unless you substantially increase your political donations to us.

    All of us are hearing from our friends and constituents on lack of credit, you can’t get a loan, the more your government takes and taxes, the more regulations you have to comply with the more cost you have there and less amount you are going to have available to loan to customers.”

    Translation: We’re looking pretty silly, flogging these irrelevancies, while our poll numbers will soon only be visible with a electron microscope. But we’re risking it all for you, so you’d better find that wallet!

    This smells like the last ditch effort, before total defeat.

    And most important Kansas State University :D

    He then picks University of Kansas and the University of Kentucky to meet in the championship game.

    And then University of Kansas to win the tournament.

    (I do disagree with his pick of Kansas over K-State, but then I’m a little biased)

    Fuzzynutz conveniently forgets that it was republican senator Phil Gramm who wrote those two bills along with bank and Wall Street lobbyists and pushed hard to get them passed.

    So come on Fuzzynutz, Clinton may have signed off on the bill (black mail for Monicagate?) but give credit where it is due.

    Phil Gramm is the man behind both the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act Of 1999 and the Commodity Futures Modernization Act Of 2000.

    Punkin’Head is quite the submissive little whore is’t he? The banking execs should realize that Healthcare Reform will pass despite the hundreds of millions of dollars thrown at Republicans. They managed to delay quite capably but the Dems are showing that if they need to resort to every parliamentary trick at their disposal to get around the deadwood then so be it. So be it and Godspeed. The Reps managed to muddy the waters because many who are on either a Govt program allready or have insurance and never had a major illness…and the FOX lemmings of course. What I am getting at is that the average American citizen has grown to hate the bankers. There isn’t enough polish in the world to shine up that turd. They can throw all the money they want at Orangeglo, this (reform) too shall pass. Any trolls care to settle a bet for me? Are Boehner’s balls as freakishly orange as his face? Oh…and if there are any banking execs out there could you help me settle another bet? When you guys stand around PunkinHead in one of your vaults and you give him the old money shot…does that orange color run? Thanks guys

  95. tarazan says:

    Boehner words tells the whole story about whom he works for.
    And when he told bankers even if the Senate passes the bill,it will take a year of reconiliation in the House,meaning he and his GOP buddies in the House will use all means to obstruct and delay any substantive or useful legistlation to public.

    Let’s see if the Dems can capitalize on this obstruction to the banking legislation. Polls show that people really hate the banks and the bailout. I doubt whether the Republicans would want to be portrayed as siding with the banks. Dems should force votes even if there is a filibuster. The Republicans will have a difficult time selling their BS to the people.

    Boehner: “punk staffers”
    Bachmann: only tea-baggers are “real Americans”

    Repubs are so incredibly insulting & condescending to their fellow citizens. I just do not understand how anyone can support such elitists as these two, & others like them. The fact they, with their high incomes, excellent health care, and all the other perks, try to ally themselves with people who have few or none of those perks, is tasteless and disgusting.

    Patriot @85, the guys on Mythbusters proved that it actually is possible to polish a turd. It was disgusting, but, kinda funny. As far as the bankers monershots, I don’t think that they were aiming at his face, but, at his ass, though it’s almost impossible to tell the difference. The breath is the same in either case.


  107. fergus says:

    Damn fat fingers. Make that “moneYshots in 108.

  110. A Patriot Acting says:

    Yeah, I saw that Mythbusters episode fergus. Pretty funny one! I’m still convinced it was Boehner’s face though. He looks like he probably begs those guys to mess him up good. Then they throw crumpled fifties at him and he scurries around on all fours scooping them up. After one of their liquid lunch/Bukaki fests the bankers should force Boehner to go back to congress with his face dripping…crumpled fifty dollar bills dropping from his orange paws…you know, just for kicks. Or they could get him drunk (if they don’t allready find him that way) and get him a little tatoo. Something like, “This b1tch is owned and operated by AIG” across his forehead. Maybe in a fancy swirly script font. Boehner is a dirty, dirty man.

    Republican, thy name is obstructionist.

    Republican, thy name is TRAITOR.

    There, fixed it for ya.



  112. christopher wiwi says:

    “the more regulations you have to comply with the more cost you have there and less amount you are going to have available to loan to customers”.How is it that rules,laws and regulations cost anything at all? I do understand that the lack of rules,laws and regulations caused Americans to lose everything.The Human Cheetis a moron and I feel for all of Ohio and what they have to put up with this fool and his antics.


  113. SP Biloxi says:

    “Boehner Tells Bankers To Fight Financial Reform: ‘Don’t Let Those Little Punk Staffers Take Advantage Of You’”

    Oh, Boner is such a drama queen.

    P.S. Love that pic of Boner’s tanning glow. He must have dozed off too long in the tanning bed. He looks like the brother from another planet.


  114. Tijlon says:

    And Democrats like cretins will not take advantage of his shenanigan. You ask around and the majority of the independents and many Republicans are furious about the banking industry and their take of share from TARP. If Democrats are smart, which I doubt it, they would hammer Boehner’s remarks until the guy bleeds from his eyes.


  115. 4httr says:

    Boehner is indentured to big money. He and many of the other Republican leaders chose corporate America as their constituency. Screw everyone else.

    #117,

    Right on the penny…
    ——

    Democrats have a lot to say about the mess that Republicans left after Bush presidency ended.
    They have a lot of ammo to use..but surprisngly they don’t know how to play offense..they always play defence.
    While Republicans going around attacking Democrats health plan in every occasion they have, putting Democrats in a defensive postion,by ridiculing Democrats plans.
    Democrats should attack Republicans daily for having nothing to offer for Americans health problems,and have no plans at all.
    Yes, Democrats should hammer Republicans as the party with “No Plan” at all, instead of just waiting to defend themselves against daily Republicans attacks on Dems. own health plans.


  117. smarish says:

    The biggest lie the Repugs keep telling is that if you let the wealthy keep more of their taxes, they will create jobs. Well, during the Bush Regime they did exactly that. They gave tax cuts to the richest slobs. So what happened with all the job creation? If their logic is right, then we should have created many millions of jobs during the past decade, but that was NOT the case. All they did was keep their money and buy big homes and yachts and then put the rest in off-shore bank accounts to hide it. As socialist as it may sound, I say spread the wealth around. If the majority of people have the money, they spend it immediately. THAT’s what makes the economy stonger!


  118. nellieh says:

    Aside from Cantor, King, and Shadegg who is more of a “punk” in the House, including staffers, than Boehner?


  119. vooter says:

    Boehner should be raped.


  120. Brian Eagen says:

    Boehner has shown his true face. His true, creepy face with those piercing blue eyes and thousand-yard stare


  121. Hoc Equidem says:

    “Don’t let those little punk staffers take advantage of you and stand up for yourselves,”

    Stand up for yourselves? This is a joke right? Multi-national multi-billion dollar institutions that manipulate world economies need defending? Jeez Boehner, I want some of whatever you’re taking.


  122. Troicho says:

    This is utterly devastating. No-one should rest until everyone in Ohio knows this story by rote.


  123. chitowner says:

    Golf course Johnny’s one tough-talking guy – after he gets out of his tanning bed and gets his facial.


  124. ashabot says:

    Boehner has managed to deepen and darken the horrid stain politicians have already left on the psyche of the country. Enough with these petty crooks governing us.


  125. JimMichie says:

    What else would expect from the mouth of a galactic jerk who promotes the US as a country of the banks, by the banks and for the banks. What really amazes me is that this waco get reelected every two years. But then, of course, he has access to all the money he needs (from his banks) to flat-out buy his reelection. Welcome to Amerika!
